[QUOTE="susiedriver, post: 71990, member: 1848"] My2cents, <o =""></o> I have never been management, though some close friends were/are, so I speak of the MIP secondhand, at best. <o =""></o> To get to the point, I dont think the MIP has much effect of the price, in the long run. Face it; the value hasnt changed that much since the IPO, except for a brief, shining moment late last year. <o =""></o> I understand that the MIP underwent major changes for this years award. From the very little I have bothered to learn about this years MIP, it is better for the bottom line of the company, and therefore the stock value. In the past the award was given all at once, and though one couldnt (for all practical purposes) cash it in , at least one actually held it. Starting this year, it is only promised over a period of time (10 years?), and half is cash, half stock (I think). You won't see any spike in trading volume, because the shares are never(rarely) sold by the participants, and are acquired over time (stock buybacks) by the company. Bottom line, revised MIP - better for share value, the overall hit on the bottom line is negligible. <o =""></o> I see the MIP almost as a forced contribution towards retirement of as much as 20% of your monetary compensation with a return based on the increasing value of UPS stock. In 1980, it was a heck of a bargain, not so sure today. As far as employee discounted stock, it's your money, invest it as you see fit. At least you're not paying retail for UPS stock, which is a better discount than you get on shipping a package:D. [/QUOTE]
